    No, no. MFSL would have to do the original mixes to maximize the complaints here. ;)

    I was just listening to the 45 rpm release of Strange Days again last night and I'm still just blown away by how great these Doors releases sound. Top notch job by Chad and all the people who made these happen.

    40th anniversary mix as I understand from searching previous threads.

    The hdtracks are not the 40th anniversery mixes, in fact they are new masterings entirely (there are unique fades on quite a few tracks, most of them slightly longer) that indicate a new mastering.

    I'm just curious if they're going to do this all again for the mono versions (albeit on a smaller scale).

    I doubt it. I have a mono Strange Days and really enjoy it although it's been knocked around on this forum a bit.

    I think they will.

    The Doors S/T was already reissued in mono 2011.
    Here's my plan: Strange Days in mono will be next, then a mono box with both these and Waiting For The Sun and the mono singles.
    Next are the 45 rpm 2LP mono sets, the singles will be reissued as 12".

    Oh, huh, guess I wasn't as diligent in searching as I thought. Apologies for spreading misinformation.

    I ordered these SACDs long ago. I think I just soiled myself.

    It was worth it. You can always replace a pair of underwear.

    No problem, the s/t of the hdtracks version does share one thing with the 40th, it has Lmf at the correct speed, but it is the original mix, not the 40th remix

    Debating. Would it not be cheaper to go the hdtracks route? Are the 45s that superior to these?

    I certainly think so. I've heard the HD Track s/t and wasn't impressed.

    Given that, I hope the SACDs do not have this mastering. It surprises me that the Doors catalog would have been mastered to hi-rez twice in such a short period of time.

    It's only good until the 21st so you can't use it on the SACD boxset which isn't going to be released until the 22nd but you can use it on the individual SACDs.

    If you want free shipping you have to spend at least $79. Add a comment in the shipping instructions to get the free shipping and use the PRESIDENTSDAYSALE code in the coupon code area.

    Inside information or idle speculation? ;)

    I know right and I promised myself I would at least wait until the reviews came out but the 10% got me.....
